Even though he is a qualified driving instructor, Rob Jaques was not immune to the rising costs of car insurance. The 36-year-old from Derby recently saw a sharp increase in his renewal premium on a 2019 Seat Ateca.
“I was baffled as I have actually just proved, again, the quality of my driving and road knowledge,” says Jaques. Even shopping around was fruitless and his provider, Churchill, was the cheapest option, so he had to lower his cover. Now he is no longer insured for losing his keys, hotel expenses if he breaks down, or misfuelling.
